Early life[]

Alexia Putellas Segura was born on 4 February 1994, to Jaume Putellas Rota and Elisabet 'Eli' Segura Sabaté in Mollet del Vallès, a municipality in the province of Barcelona.[7][8] Putellas has been a supporter of FC Barcelona since her early childhood.[9] As a child, Putellas would travel with the Penye of Mollet del Vallès to watch Barcelona's matches at the Camp Nou with her father.[10]

Despite being born into a basketball-playing family, Putellas first began playing football in 2001 at six years old.[11] The first club she played for was with CE Sabadell, after she was enrolled through a family friend who played for the club.[12] In 2005, Putellas spent a year in FC Barcelona's youth academy. When she was twelve, Putellas joined the youth teams of RCD Espanyol, where she stayed for four years.[13]

Club career[]

Espanyol[]

Putellas made her senior team debut with Espanyol when she was 16 years old.[13] She was a part of the Espanyol squad that won the 2010 Copa de la Reina in a 3–1 win vs Rayo Vallecano.[14]

In 2011, she started in the final of the Copa de la Reina for Espanyol, where they lost 0–1 in extra time against Barcelona.[15] Putellas’ performances with Espanyol identified her as one of Spain's best young players.

Levante[]

At age 17, a month after the 2011 Copa de la Reina final, she signed for Levante. Levante did not compete in the 2012 Copa de la Reina due to failing to qualify in the previous season. Individually, Putellas had a successful 2011–2012 campaign, scoring 15 goals in 34 matches and finishing as Levante's top scorer that season.[16]

Barcelona[]

2012–13 season[]

Putellas moved back to Barcelona in the summer of 2012. She started and played most of Barcelona's matches that season.[17] Because of Barcelona's first ever league title win in the previous season, they were set to make their debut in the 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League.[18] On 26 September 2013, Putellas started in her UEFA Women's Champions League debut against Arsenal, where they lost 0–3 at home.[19] In the away leg, Barcelona lost 0–4, and exited their tournament debut in the Round of 32.

On 4 May 2013, Putellas won her first league title with the club when Barcelona won 2–1 against Athletic Bilbao.[20] The match, played at the San Mamés with 25,000 spectators, is remembered by Putellas as one of her favorite matches of her career because it "made her feel like a footballer."[17][21] In the 2013 final of the Copa de la Reina, she scored Barcelona's third goal versus Prainsa Zaragoza, where she dribbled past two Zaragoza defenders, past their keeper, and poked the ball into the net. The goal went viral and caused a stir within Spanish football media.[22][23][21] Barcelona won the final 4–0, the first domestic double in their history.[24] Putellas was chosen as MVP of the Copa de la Reina Final for her performance.[25]

2013–14 season[]

Putellas won her second consecutive league title with Barcelona after the team went unbeaten throughout 27 rounds.[26] Putellas was also an integral part of Barcelona's 2014 Copa de la Reina campaign, scoring in each round of the knockout stage. Barcelona advanced past the quarterfinals against Real Sociedad with an aggregate score of 1–0, a Putellas goal in the away leg being the tie decider.[27] In the home leg of the semifinals, she scored in a 2–1 Barcelona home win versus Rayo Vallecano.[28] That tie would end up finishing 3–1, propelling the team to the final against Athletic Bilbao.[29] Putellas scoring an outside-the-box goal in extra time of the final meant a penalty shootout for Barcelona, where she scored the game-winning fifth penalty and earned her fifth major club trophy.[30] She was named MVP of the Copa de la Reina for the second season in a row.[31]

2014–15 season[]

Putellas scored her first ever Champions League goal in the Round of 32 of the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League against Czech side Slavia Prague.[32] Barcelona advanced after defeating Slavia Prague on a 4-0 aggregate score, but failed to get past Bristol City, losing 1–2 on aggregate in the Round of 16.

Putellas with Barcelona in 2016

Putellas missed Barcelona's first UEFA Women's Champions League match of the 2015–16 season against BIIK Kazygurt, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[34] She returned the following match, assisting Jennifer Hermoso against the Kazakh side in a 4–0 win.[35] She scored the first four-goal game of her career in 2015, in a 10–0 win against Fundación Albacete.[8]

In the quarterfinals of the 2016 Copa de la Reina, Putellas scored a brace and gave an assist to Míriam Diéguez in a 5–1 win against Real Sociedad, sending the blaugranas to the semifinal.[36] She finished her season as Barcelona's second-highest goalscorer in the league with 18 goals.[37]

2016–17 season[]

In February 2017, Putellas was named as a candidate for the FIFPro Women's World XI for the first time, where she was listed amongst the forwards.[38][39] In the 2016–2017 season, Barcelona reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time in the club's history. They were knocked out 5–1 on aggregate by Paris Saint Germain, where Putellas started both matches.[40][41] On 18 June 2017, Putellas won her third Copa de la Reina with the club when she scored in the 2017 Copa de la Reina final in a 4–1 win against Atlético Madrid.[42]

2017–18 season[]

On 2 October 2017, Putellas wore the captain's band for the first time at Barcelona in a match against Santa Teresa, after all four of the club's captains were either benched or not selected in that matchday squad.[43]

Putellas was Barcelona's sole scorer in both legs of the 2018 Copa de la Reina quarterfinal, scoring both match-winners against Levante to bring Barcelona to the semifinals.[44][45] After advancing past Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals, Barcelona made it to the final where they won 1–0 over Atlético Madrid late in extra time.

2018–19 season[]

In the 2018–2019 season, Putellas was named as Barcelona's fourth captain, the first official captaincy role of her senior career.[46] In the first match of that season's Champions League, Putellas conceded an own goal as Barcelona fell in a 3–1 shock defeat to Kazakh side BIIK Kazygurt.[47][48] They came back from that loss to win 3–0 at home, and ended up advancing to the semifinals for the second time in club history. Putellas started both games versus Bayern, where Barcelona won 2–0 on aggregate.[49][50] On 18 May 2019, Putellas started in Barcelona's first ever UWCL final versus Lyon, who went on to win the match 4–1.[51] Following Barcelona's loss in the final, Putellas was named to the UEFA Women's Champions League Squad of the Season for the first time in her career.[52] Not soon after, she renewed her contract with the club for 3 more seasons to 2022.[53] She ended the season as Barcelona's top scorer in the league with 16 goals and overall with 18 goals.

2019–20 season[]

In 2019, Putellas was given second captaincy for the first time at Barcelona after being named as fourth captain in the previous year.[54] For the first few months of the 2019–20 season, she captained the side during Vicky Losada's hamstring injury, but began to start as captain in most matches by default as Losada transitioned to an off-the-bench role. On 7 September 2019, she became the first player to ever score at the Estadi Johan Cruyff in a 9–1 win versus Tacón, the team that would later become Real Madrid.[55][56] Some days later, Putellas scored Barcelona's first goal of the 2019-20 Champions League campaign, away against Juventus.[57] In the home leg, she scored the first ever Champions League goal at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.[10]

In February of the following year, she started and captained both legs of the first ever Supercopa de España Femenina. In the final, she scored a brace in a 10–1 thrashing of Real Sociedad, winning her first major title with the club in two years.[58] Later in the month, she made her 300th appearance for Barcelona against Sporting Huelva, the fourth player in Barcelona's history to reach that many appearances after Melanie Serrano, Marta Unzué, and Vicky Losada. She was honored at Estadi Johan Cruyff for the milestone in March.[59][60][61] Following the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, the 2019-20 league season was suspended, with Barcelona being crowned the winner with 21 out of 32 matchdays played. It was Putellas’ first league title since 2015, and her fourth with the club overall. She ended up contributing 10 goals and 8 assists in 20 league matches.[62] At the end of the season, Putellas was named the best player of the 2019–20 league campaign.[63][64]

Upon the resumption of the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League, Barcelona played Atlético Madrid in the single-legged quarterfinal, where they won 1–0. Barcelona advanced to the semifinal of the competition, where they were knocked out 1–0 by VfL Wolfsburg. In a post-match interview, when asked about the gap in quality between Barcelona and other elite European teams, Putellas claimed “there is no distance.”[65][66] On the continental stage, Putellas was named as a candidate for the UEFA Women's Team of the Year for 2020.[67]

Although the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League was completed, Barcelona were still due to complete the remaining matches of that season's Copa de la Reina campaign. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the semifinals and final of the 2019–20 Copa de la Reina were pushed back to be played during the 2020–21 season. On 13 February 2021, Putellas played the 2020 Copa de la Reina final against Logroño, and drew a penalty which she scored to put Barcelona 1–0 up. Barcelona won the final 3–0, Putellas’ fifth Copa de la Reina title with the club.[68]

2020–21 season[]

As first captain Vicky Losada continued to be utilized mainly as a substitute at Barcelona, Putellas started matches as captain throughout most of the 2020–21 season. In the first match of the league season, Putellas started the first ever women's El Clásico against Real Madrid, where she scored the fourth and final goal of the match.[69] On 6 January 2021, Putellas captained Barcelona against Espanyol, the first time women's teams ever played a competitive match at the Camp Nou. Just before halftime, Putellas scored a header goal off a corner kick from Caroline Graham Hansen, becoming the first female player to score a competitive goal at the stadium.[70] The following week, she played against Atlético Madrid in the semifinal of the 2021 Supercopa de España Femenina, where she scored a free-kick in the 90th minute to tie the match and take it to extra time. Barcelona lost the match on penalties, one of their three losses that season in all competitions.[71] In the second edition of the women's El Clásico, Putellas scored Barcelona's first ever home goal against Los Blancos.[72] That goal was also her 100th goal scored in the league with Barcelona.[73]

Putellas playing against Real Sociedad in June 2021

In the 2020–21 Champions League, Barcelona advanced to their second ever final. A day prior to the Champions League final, Putellas trained separately from the group with her left thigh heavily bandaged due to strain on her hamstring, and was at risk of not starting the final with the status of “doubtful.”[74][75] On 16 May 2021, despite her injury, Putellas started the second Champions League final of her career, this time against Chelsea. After going 1–0 up within 30 seconds, Barcelona were awarded a penalty after Melanie Leupolz made contact with Jenni Hermoso in the box. Putellas scored the penalty to put Barcelona 2–0 up within 13 minutes.[76] In the 20th minute of the match, Putellas sent a through ball into the box towards Aitana Bonmatí, who scored Barcelona's third. The goal was later selected as the fifth-best goal of the competition.[77] Barcelona ended the match winning 4–0, the largest margin of victory in any single-legged UWCL final, and Putellas was selected to that year's UWCL Squad of the Season.[78] Later in the year, she was listed as a nominee to the UEFA Women's Champions League Midfielder of the Season award, which she won in August.[79][80][81]

Later in the month of May, she competed in the final stages of the 2020–21 Copa de la Reina. Putellas was sidelined for the two league matches between the Champions League Final and the semifinal of the Copa de la Reina due to her previous injury, but started the semifinal against Madrid CFF where she scored two goals in a 4–0 win. Her two goals made her the first player in Barcelona's history to exceed 10 goals in the Copa de la Reina.[82] In the final, played on 30 May 2021, Putellas scored two goals against Levante – a header from a Lieke Martens corner service and another coming from a shot from open play into the far right corner.[83][84] The match ended with a 4–2 victory to Barcelona as they completed the continental treble, a first for a Spanish women's club team. Putellas also won MVP of the Copa de la Reina Final for the third time in her career, and scored the most goals in the tournament with five.[85][86] The cup was her sixth Copa de la Reina with Barcelona and her seventh overall. Putellas ended her season as the highest-scoring midfielder in Europe with 26 goals in all competitions.[87]

2021–22 season[]

Following the departure of captain Vicky Losada, Putellas overtook first-captain duties at the beginning of the 2021–22 season.[88] In August 2021, she was nominated as a UEFA Women's Player of the Year Finalist alongside Barcelona teammates Lieke Martens and Jennifer Hermoso.[89] Putellas was named the winner of the award later in the month, becoming the first Spanish player to receive it.[80][90] In September 2021, Putellas renewed her Barcelona contract for three more years until 2024.[91] On 25 September, she scored one of the fastest-ever hat-tricks in her club's history after she netted three goals in four minutes in her side's 8–0 thrashing of Valencia, one of which was scored from 40-yards.[92]

On 29 November 2021, Putellas was awarded the 2021 Ballon d'Or Féminin. This was the first Ballon d'Or nomination of her career.[93][94][95]

International career[]

Youth[]

Putellas began playing for Spanish youth national teams at fifteen.[96][97]

Putellas took part in the UEFA U-17 Women's Championship with Spain in 2010, her first major international championship with a Spanish national team. Spain ended up finishing on top of the group with 3 wins from 3 matches. They went on to sweep all their remaining matches, winning the final against Ireland on penalties.[98] This was Spain's first ever title at the women's U-17 level, and its first at the youth level since 2004.

Spain's win at the 2010 UEFA U-17 Women's Championship gave them qualification for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, played in the same year. Putellas scored in Spain's first match of the competition, as they won 4–1 against Japan. Spain finished first in the group stages, and went on to face Brazil in the quarterfinals, where Putellas assisted both of Spain's goals in a 2–1 win.[99] When Spain reached the semifinal against South Korea, Putellas assisted Amanda Sampedro’s match-opening goal, but Spain eventually lost 2–1.[100] Spain won against North Korea in the third-place playoff match. Spain went on to replicate their success in 2011. In the first match of the final round, Putellas scored twice against Iceland in a 4-0 win, sending Spain to the final.[101] Spain won 1–0 against France in the final, Putellas’ second UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship win.[102]

The following year, Putellas carried on having success with Spain's U-19s. She competed in the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, where she captained the Spanish team. Putellas scored in Spain's second match of the group stage in a 4–0 win against England. After finishing on top of their group, Spain played in the semifinal against Portugal, where Putellas assisted Raquel Pinel’s game-winning goal.[100] Spain advanced to the final, where Putellas started and captained the match but was taken off in the 83rd minute as Spain were defeated by Sweden in the second period of overtime. The 2012 UEFA Women’s U-19 Championship would be Putellas’ last for Spain's youth national teams. In the second round of qualifying for the 2013 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, Spain were placed in a group with Germany, the Czech Republic and Greece. She captained Spain in the group, scoring twice in three matches, but they finished third in the qualification table with one win and two losses.[103]

As well as being two-time European champions with Spain's U-17s, Putellas was champion of Spain with the Catalan U-14, U-15, and U-17 national teams.[16]

Senior[]

Putellas earned her first cap for the senior national team in a 2–2 pre-tournament friendly draw with Denmark in Vejle.[104] The following day, national team coach Ignacio Quereda confirmed her as a member of his 23-player squad for the 2013 European Championship finals in Sweden.[105]

In Spain's first match of the tournament, Putellas made her competitive match debut when she subbed on against England. Putellas scored the extra time winner in Spain's 3–2 victory with a header, her first senior international goal.[106][107] The win was Spain's first win at a Euro tournament in 16 years, as well as their only win of that tournament.[108][note 1] Putellas also played 90 minutes as Spain were eliminated in the quarter-final by Norway.

In May 2015, Putellas was called up as part of Spain's squad at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada, their first ever participation in a World Cup.[109][1] She started every game in the tournament, where Spain put up an uninspiring display of two losses and a draw. Her and her 22 teammates in the squad called for the resignation of long-tenured coach Ignacio Quereda, citing poor preparation for the tournament and lost confidence.[110]

Under Putellas' former coach with Spain's U-17s, Jorge Vilda, she was called up to Spain's 2017 UEFA Women's Euro squad.[111] She started in each of Spain's group stage games at the UEFA Women's Euro 2017, where they advanced to the knockouts on a head-to-head tiebreaker with a record of one win and two losses. Spain was defeated by Austria on penalties, where she was subbed in at the 68th minute.[112]

Putellas with Spain in 2018

In May 2019, Putellas was named part of Spain's squad at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, both her and Spain's second Women's World Cup tournament.[113] She played in each of Spain's three group stage games where they advanced to the Round of 16, making it Spain's most successful run in a World Cup. Spain put up an impressive display against the United States, the eventual tournament winners. Putellas started that match, which ended up a 1–2 loss to the United States.[114]

9 months after the World Cup, Spain competed in the 2020 SheBelieves Cup, against Japan, England, and Round of 16 World Cup opponents the United States. Putellas scored once against Japan and scored a late match-winner with a header against England.[115] Her performances earned her player of the tournament.[116][117]

In 2020, after Spain teammate and close friend Virginia Torrecilla was diagnosed with cancer, Putellas began wearing Torrecillas's number 14 with the Spain national team. Putellas said she does not intend to retire the number until Torrecilla returns to the national team.[118][119] In 2021, Putellas was named of the three captains of the Spanish national team, joining Irene Paredes and Barcelona teammate Jennifer Hermoso.[96]

On 26 October 2021, Putellas surpassed Marta Torrejón's record for Spain national team appearances, picking up her 91st cap in a 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine.[120][121] On 2 November 2021, she was named the Spain women's national team Player of the Year.[122]

Style of play[]

As a teenager, Putellas was recognized for her performances with Espanyol and with Spain's U-17’s as one of her generation’s best talents. Commentators highlighted her playmaking ability as a winger, showcased at the 2010 UEFA U-17 Women's Championship.[100] A predominantly left footed player, Putellas played primarily as a forward on the left-wing for a large part of her career. In recent years, due to her teams having more balanced squads, she has transitioned into a deeper playmaking role, being positioned as a left center-midfielder for both FC Barcelona and Spain. Although normally situated in center-midfield, Putellas is one of the main contributors to Barcelona’s attack, with the ability to play as an attacking midfielder and a second striker.[123] When needed, she can find herself in defensive midfield and leftback positions to help Barcelona open up spaces and retain possession.[124][125] Putellas regularly finishes each season as one of Barcelona's top contributors in terms of both goals and assists. In the 2018-19 season she was the club's highest scorer in all competitions, and in the 2020-21 season, she was Europe’s highest-scoring midfielder.[126][127][128]

Putellas has been described as the perfect "Barcelona" midfielder, with the vision, passing ability, and passing accuracy that resembles her male counterparts of FC Barcelona's most successful periods.[129][130] Publications like GOAL describe her as “technically superb,” creative, and decisive.[127] Alongside her technical ability, she is hailed for her leadership capabilities, becoming one of Barcelona's captains at 23 years old.[131] Barcelona legend Andrés Iniesta has called Putellas a "role model," saying she encapsulates the values of FC Barcelona.[132][133]

Outside of football[]

Personal life[]

In her youth, Putellas idolized male footballers Andrés Iniesta, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho, who all played for Barcelona, as well as female footballer Louisa Nécib, who played for Olympique Lyonnais.[8][11][23][21]

In 2012, two weeks before the start of the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, Putellas’ father, Jaume, passed away.[134][11][135] Occasionally, when she steps on the pitch or celebrates a goal, Putellas will point her fingers to the sky and look up in dedication to her late father.[23][136][137]

Putellas studied Business Administration and Management at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, but later took a break from studies to focus on football.[136][108][12][138]

In 2019, Putellas spoke out against prison sentences for Catalan independence leaders in the aftermath of the 2017 Catalan independence referendum, saying the sentences were “not the solution.”[139][140]

Sponsorships[]

Putellas is sponsored by Nike. In 2019, she scored the longest-range goal at the Camp Nou (100m) in a promotional event for Nike's new PhantomVNM Boots.[141][142] After reaching the 2019 Women's Champions League Final, she was the face of Nike's promotions for FC Barcelona, with a billboard displayed in the streets of Barcelona that read “don’t play for finals, play for history.”[143]

Putellas is also sponsored by VISA, and is a member of Team VISA.[144][145]

Awards and recognition[]

In 2010, 16-year-old Putellas was selected to the Best Female XI in that year's Fútbol Draft, a yearly list of the best U-23 female and male Spanish footballers, chosen by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE), the High Council for Sports (CSD), La Liga, and the Spanish Association of Football Agents (AEAF).[150][151] Putellas was again selected to the Fútbol Draft Best Female XI in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.[152][153][154][155]

Along with Gerard Piqué, Alexia Putellas was named the best Catalan Player of the Year in 2015. Putellas was selected ahead of Spain teammates Marta Torrejón and Marta Corredera. Being key in Barcelona's fourth straight La Liga title and her participation in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup were crucial for winning the award.[156][157] She was again chosen for the award in 2017 and 2021.

Notes[]

  1. ^ Although UEFA and FIFA credit the goal to Putellas, other sources including the British Broadcasting Corporation Archived 21 November 2015 at the Wayback Machine attribute it as an own goal by England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, saying Putellas failed to connect with Adriana Martín's left wing cross and that Bardsley's face diverted the ball into the goal.
